Published: May 13, 2019, 7:07 p.m.

b'What is the intersection of nursing and mother\\u2019s day? Well, her name is Linda Bridwell Rettew and she is a nurse practitioner, mother, wife, grandmother, caregiver, and an all-around great person. \\nMy life has been surrounded by medicine, from the earliest days of my childhood, I have memories waiting for mom in doctor\\u2019s offices, emergency departments, waiting rooms; sleeping overnight in a vacant rooms while mom pulled a night shift. Her career put food on the table, clothes on my back, money in my pocket, and values into my soul. \\nThis mother\\u2019s day comes at the tail end of nurse appreciation week. What better way to celebrate our appreciation for the one nurse that taught me how to fix a cut, clean a wound, work hard, and to be a good man. \\nShe is a nurse, a nurse in South Carolina. But she is more than a nurse\\u2026she is my mother. And I not only have to share her with my sister, but my children, all the other grandchildren, players on the sidelines of a Clemson Football game, and majority of four counties in the Upstate of South Carolina. She is a nurse, she is a caregiver, and I believe she is South Carolina\\u2019s mother of the year!\\nFind Me Online:Bobby Rettew TwitterBobby Rettew Portfolio WebsiteIntersection Podcast Twitter\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
